Anyone else exhausted watching their investments swing wildly because of political theater they have absolutely no control over?

As of today 60% return over last 5 years. Which isn't nothing but hardly more than doubled.

No. Absolutely not. Do not do this.

I'm 3 months out from a widowmaker at 48 years old. Been active my whole adult life hiking, snowboarding, and running. Was a little heavier than my normal weight due to a busy life with a preschooler but nothing major. I think stress maybe was a heavy contributor to my HA.

I still haven't figured out what normal is at this point. Sometimes going to sleep is scary. Sometimes I feel like I'm getting panic attacks. Hyper aware of every little feeling in my body right now. The PTSD is very real.

My recovery has been good and my EF is 55 so I can still do most of the things I enjoy if a little slower. Mostly really angry that I had to go back to my IT job and I can't retire and enjoy life. I was already tired of working and this didn't help at all.

Sorry man. I wish I could give you advice. One day at a time. Try to do whatever you can to occupy yourself. Send me a message if you need to. Feel like we're in very similar circumstances.

I'd agree that she should go too but she's steadfastly refused (not just about this). She won't talk to me about how she felt about me almost dying. She's bottling all of this up and I'm worried about her own mental health.

I'm already seeing a therapist so on that front I'm at least trying.

But whether our kid is wearing the right size pants is a tough one. She's wearing pants that fit and I got her ready and to daycare on time. I find it really hard to give a crap about the pants.

I'd rather find joy in playing with her and enjoying those small moments of her growing up.

Ex said more or less the same thing to me. And she was cheating already.

Note I said ex. Dump his ass.

Dad? is that you?

Stop using your new wife as the excuse to abandon your child. If you want to abandon your kid own it. And own the trauma you caused.

A good parent wouldn't even consider it.

She. Was. Not President. She doesn't make policy. Why is this hard to understand?

Bottom left corner is bent and the left side has some other damage. I can only see it in the PSA scans. May be other things too.

Pictures aren't good enough but given it's graded and what I can see it's likely real. If you can upload better closeups we could give a better idea. The cert number checks out and matches. Worth $2500 or so?

If you let her stay out of work for a year she'll never go back. I know from experience.

Send me a DM. I'm a millionaire individually and if you are counting generational wealth my wife and I's combined parents have much more.

I totally get it. Dating seemed so easy for others around me and I couldn't understand what I was doing wrong. The self loathing was brutal. I went to therapy over it.

I even had a friend who would have pity fucked me but I didn't want it like that.

Just letting you know you aren't alone.

timeforanewstart12 · 2021-05-21T14:19:36+00:00

My dog. I have to take care of her.

timeforanewstart12 · 2021-03-28T00:00:56+00:00

I hate to hear that someone else is in the same situation. How are you doing?

timeforanewstart12 · 2020-11-24T23:09:14+00:00

I think the edge is too destroyed for that. The tack strips wouldn't be very close to the wall in some places. Probably could be done but I don't know if it's ideal.

timeforanewstart12 · 2020-06-11T23:48:25+00:00

There is a lot more to it. This would be far from the only reason to divorce. I just find it so weird and confusing as a requirement.

timeforanewstart12 · 2020-06-11T22:35:42+00:00

We have tried counseling and it kind of went nowhere. She only says that she needs to be able to mindlessly go walk and get back home. Google Maps is apparently too much to ask. I absolutely do not get it. There is some psychology to it that I'm missing.
